This is The Most Expensive Bentley Ever

In the '20s and '30s a certain Sir Henry Ralph Stanley "Tim" Birkin, 3rd Baronet spent a good deal of time driving this Bentley 4.5 Litre Supercharged around race tracks quite quickly. This is the car that Tim set a world record in for going 137.96mph at the Outer Circuit at Brooklands.

All of this awesomeness fetched a price of £4.5 million ($7.05 million).
